Fans Couldn’t Stop Talking About Dylan O’Brien Being The ‘Ex’ In New Sabrina Carpenter Song, So Someone Finally Asked Him

by

Sabrina Carpenter‘s latest album, *Man’s Best Friend*, immediately caused a buzz, starting with its attention-grabbing cover art. Fans quickly began analyzing the lyrics, speculating that Carpenter hinted at a past romance with actor Dylan O’Brien. The rumors spread so widely that O’Brien himself addressed them during a TV interview.

Fans Have Been Theorizing Sabrina Carpenter Referenced Dylan O’Brien In A Song

Listeners have noticed that in Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Go Go Juice” from her album *Man’s Best Friend*, she appears to subtly mention several of her past relationships. Here’s the lyric that sparked the discussion:

I’m having a drink so I can make a call. Once I’ve had a little alcohol, things can get unpredictable – it could be John, Larry, or even someone else entirely. Maybe even someone whose name sounds like ‘villain,’ depending on my mood.

Sabrina Carpenter has been linked to several famous exes, including Shawn Mendes and Barry Keoghan, with her split from Keoghan happening in late 2024. Fans have playfully speculated about clues to her past relationships, noticing potential rhymes with names like Josh (with “Gosh”) and Dylan O’Brien, who she was once photographed with (though the photo is blurry).

While rhyming ‘villain’ with ‘Dylan’ seems like a likely connection, it could also refer to another person named Dylan in her life. Regardless, many online are still pointing to O’Brien as the main suspect.

How Dylan O’Brien Responded When Andy Cohen Asked Him

When Dylan O’Brien was a guest on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen (via Popbase) a couple of weeks ago, he was asked about the theory the song is about him during a segment on the show where the Bravo host asks audience questions. O’Brien answered the question at first by claiming he “wasn’t aware” before he was caught up. He responded with these words:

My name sounds like ‘villain,’ by the way. She’s thankfully never accidentally called me when she’s had too much to drink. Plus, cell service is bad at my place, so you’ll need to reach me using FaceTime audio.

Dylan O’Brien cleverly dodged a direct answer by joking about the poor reception at his place, suggesting FaceTime audio is the most reliable way to get in touch. The exchange between O’Brien and Cohen was amusing, and fans loved his response, calling it perfect and brilliantly handled. Some fans also playfully criticized Cohen for asking a tricky question.

O’Brien was getting attention for his work in the film *Twinless*. It makes you wonder if Sabrina Carpenter will mention any of her past relationships when she hosts *Saturday Night Live* on October 18th next year. But regardless, “Go Go Juice” is a really enjoyable and upbeat song, and we’ll definitely be listening to it a lot.
